Rift Valley

This picture is from 1936 and shows men on the road between Nairobi, Kenya and the Rift Valley. If things are going according to plan, I should be on this same highway today. The good news is my transportation is a little more modern that what is shown here, but the bad news is I believe the roads are actually much worse today. So, with a little luck, I should reach Western Kenya by the end of the day.

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
